There was sensation ct Abeugh's Grand
Opera House in Washington, last night
while Clara Morris was playing "LArticle
AZ" The scene in the auditorium recalled
the famous shooting case that occurred in
that city some years ago. Those who have
witnessed the performance will recall the
scene aJ the end Of the first act where Miss
Morris as Cora, the creole girl, tired and
worn out by an ocean voyage, becomes ex
asperated by The petty jealousies of her low
err George Duhamel, aud advises him Of her
determination to break with him. In q
moment of frenzy Duhsmel, after endeavor-
ing to induce Cora to retrsct her words,
picks up pistol and shoots, the bullet strik-
ing Cora in the left cheek and disfguring
her for life Seated almost in the centre of
the balcony was Annie Horton, great
granddaughter of John G. Calhoun, and who
is now employed in the Postofice Depart
ment. This young woman s the same that
in 1880 went to the Treasury Depart
meut, where George Morgan, q son
of Senator Morgan, of Alabama, had a
desk, and, after calling him out into the
street, emptied the contents ofa FIVE shooter
ut him. The shooting in the play evidently
recalled TO her mind this circumstance. for
when Miss Morris fell to the stage, the poor
young woman sprang to her feet and gave
Il scream that went piercing through the
theatre with startling effect. She then Eel!
fol ward, and buried her face in her hands
and began to moan. calling upon her
great-grsndfather in pileous tones. The
curtain fell. The ushers rushed down 10 the
young girl and tried to quiet her, but she
would not be comforted. Finally the police
man removed Miss Horton from the thea
ire by force When she reached the street
she sat down on the steps and exclaimed
thst now President Cleveland would never
be reelected, and thae che was going to
shoot Senator Morgan, of Alabama, the faith
er of the young man she shot. Finally. the
patrol wagon arrival and she was taken to
the station house. The physicians pre-
nounced her insane. The scene on the
stage had been too much for her. Mics
Horton was taken to her home laie last
night Miss Horton also tried to shoot ex.
Secretary Folger once while he was ct work
in his Office at the Treasury.

APPALLING Loss OF LIFE, AND MISERY

APPALLING Loss OF LIFE, AND MISERY
Chinese papers give details of disaster oc-
casioned by the Yellow river overhowingits
banks In the province of Eonau, and de-
scribe it as one of the most appalling occur
rences in loss Of life and property recorded
in recent times The liver broke its banks
OH the evening Of Sept. 20, southwest of the
city of Chingehow, and cot only completely
inundated hat city, but also ten other pop
ulous cities. The whole area is now raging
sea, 10 to 80 feet deep, where it was once a
densely populated and rich plain. The for
mer bed of the Yellow river is now dry,
and the preseEt lake was the bed of the river
centuries ago. The loss of life is ncalcula.
BILE, aud the statement is made by missiona
ries tha: millions of Chinese are homeless
and starving Thomas Patton, one Of the
American missionaries, writing from Honau
province under dale o. Oct. 2S. says: "The
newly gathered crops, houses, and trees are
al swept away, involving fearful loss of
life The country was covered with fine
winter bra d, which is gone, and implies
complete destruction TO next years CROP
Bread, bread is the cry Of thousands. who
are OF the river banks. Benevolent people
20 in boats end throw bread among the
masses here ard there, but it is nothing
compared with therequirements. The mass
of people is still being increased by contin-
ual arrivals even more hungry than the last.
Th-re they eit stunned. hungry, and defect
ed, without rag to wear or morsel offood.
Mat huts are being erected for them. What
it will he in two months cannot conceive.
The misery is increased owing to the bitter
cold weather"
